This time the canvas was four large walls in the brand new 180,000-square-foot Health Education Center which would be plastered floor-to-ceiling with larger-than-life DNA renderings from four of the university’s top community and board representatives.

This unique corporate art installation required some creative problem solving as DNA 11 worked directly with Western University to ensure that the digital images created from the sequenced DNA would appear vivid and clear at large sizes once it was blown up to ten feet tall.

DNA 11 designer Melissa Edwards worked closely with the University to develop a custom colour palette for this unique corporate art project and came up with a vibrant combination of bright greens and blues to make the installation come to life.

Working with Western University of Health Sciences, DNA 11 was able to break the boundaries of the typical canvas and adorn unique walls on each of the four storeys of the Health Education Center with DNA art from each of the four donors.

The project wrapped up recently with DNA 11 supplying four unique plaques to adorn each wall DNA art installation.

At DNA 11 we love having the opportunity to let our clients personalize the color of their DNA portraits… No two DNA portraits are identical after all!

With the Fingerprint Portraits and Kiss Portraitsyou can choose custom colors online, but with the DNA Portraits, our in-house designers work directly with our clients to create custom colors, based on swatches or Pantone colors they provide us.

The photos below are just two of the customized portraits that the team has created.

This was a totally custom job we did for our friend. A very special one-of-a-kind job from the early days of DNA 11. It took over 4 months to complete and he was involved at every stage of the design process.

This custom color combination started with inspiration from one of our standard colors. It was customized with the help of the DNA 11 designers.

Do you have a custom color combination in mind for a DNA portrait?
